LFM Capital, founded by engineers and former operators, always strives for excellence in both our internal processes and across our portfolio companies. This year, we introduced a portfolio-wide program to recognize standout team members within our portfolio companies across two categories: the Extra Mile Award and the Best Continuous Improvement Project. Winners received a special one-time bonus. We look forward to continuing to grow this program in years to come.

SureKap, LLC, an LFM portfolio company and manufacturer of automated packaging machinery used in a variety of industries, has named Mike May as Chief Executive Officer, effective June 2022. Greg Raines, SureKap Founder and President, will become an Advisor to the company.

In late February, the entire LFM Capital team made the journey to Team Trek in Tumbling Shoals, AR for an entire week of team building, leadership training, and good old-fashioned bonding. Team Trek has been building people and connecting teams since 1994. The LFM team had been once before, in 2019, however, the team has grown considerably since then!

LFM Capital announced today that it has closed its third fund, LFM Capital Partners III (“LFM III” or “Fund III”) with $307 million in aggregate capital commitments.

Here we ring in 2022 with a review of 2021, an incredible year for LFM with 3 new platforms, 3 new add-ons and 3 exits. We also celebrated numerous milestones across the team.

Here we introduce former owner of Rainier, Scott Campbell, and current CEO, Chris Inverso. Campbell walks through the process of selling Rainier business, which had been in his family for 6 decades and, looking toward the future, Inverso notes, “I realized LFM was the right partner for Rainer from the moment I shook their hands. Everything they said made so much sense; it was like they got us and they understood who we are. They don’t come in and pretend to be experts, but they ask a lot of thoughtful questions and it allows us to see opportunities. In many ways LFM is unlocking the potential that is already in Rainier.”

Here we feature LFM portfolio company, PSI Control Solutions, as the company celebrates its 60th anniversary. We are actively seeking add-ons for PSI in the emergency power space.
